For me, open-air photography is a special form of meditation, albeit one often associated with great physical efforts. In 2009 I began to use photography to capture motifs in Nature, initially in full and later in medium format. For this, I have been using two SLR cameras: a SONY Alpha-900 and later a PENTAX 645D/Z, both with macro and telephoto objectives.

The esthetic of Nature still fascinates me, on one hand the microscopic in the realms of plants and insects, and on the other particular light conditions and magical moments in Nature. The numerous photos that I have taken in the ensuing years – until today as an autodidact – are all associated with special personal experiences. For this, I am deeply grateful.

I hope that my photographs might contribute to an increasing awareness of the beauty, the power, and the fragility of Earth.
